Small LCD display, no spot metering, keeps shooting without card (why no warning in view finder or LCD display, if card is not present. This message will only pop up, if you want to view your shots..), Noisy shutter, mirror only rated to 50,000 pix vs 250,000 for the cheaper 10D, 1.6 crop factor, easy to knock exposure compensation wheel (why no lock on it?). Price a couple of hundred dollars too high !
